Since it was your parents car you should know teh maintance schedule. I'd still do plugs, plug wires, dist. cap and rotor unless you know your parents have done that recently.

As for cosmetic stuff, keep it clean. Its a european car, not a Chevy Cavalier. If the box says APC or "Neon" something like that, stay away. Body kits aren't necessary, Euro-spec bumpers are. As for rims, I say nothing bigger than 17", although a set of fat 15x8's or 9's would look real good. No real reason to upgrade the gauges, the factory installed just about everything you need.

Remember keep it euro and keep it clean, you'll be much happier because it will be unique compared to everyone else's car.
